Her finely-touched spirit had still its fine issues, though they were not widely visible. Her full nature, like that river of which Cyrus broke the strength, spent itself in channels which had no great name on the earth. But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.

Yeah. Me, too. I kinda understand how ''lawl'' is supposed to be the verbal equivalent of the sound produced by LOL. Though I am at a loss why not just type LOL in the first place. The 111one bit eludes me still.

GuysI have to say....I took that seriously.....and why not....there is no indication that its satire. It really made me angry.

Sorry to hear it made you angry. I was a little angry but I laughed too so I don't think it's real. And getting back to the title of this thread, the first 2 words are Making money - that's what's really going on here

Newspeak, anyone?

kthxbye!

you people are lame

when you say "lawl" you're making fun of the overuse of "lol" which I boycott on the internet *lawl*

Back in the days of yore, on gay.com, I eliminated from consideration anyone who used (1) "straight-acting," (2) "clean, ub2", and (3) "hehe hehe."

The last one made me want to spit on the chatter across cyberspace.

"clean ub2" wasn't offensive to me when test results were coming back hiv negative for me. i tested hiv negative a few times in the late 1990's. now i find it offensive. the sheer stupidity and smugness of it should have offended me back then but for whatever reasons it did not

"hehe" is insipid and i can understand the wanting to spit

"LOL" is fine.... i'll always like it i think. i've always pronounced it "lawl"

LIFE is not a race to the grave with the intention of arriving safelyin a pretty and well-preserved body, but, rather to skid in broadside,thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming--WOW! WHAT ARIDE!!!

Thanks to the sleuthing of Dallas JMG reader Bob Stoller, "Pastor Donnie Davies" has been exposed as Dallas-area actor Joey Oglesby (First name corrected from post headline). Here he is. Joey Oglesby recently appeared in a production of Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical. Joey Oglesby is a former member of the Chicken & Pickle Guys sketch comedy duo.

Finally. Our long national nightmare is over. I tip my hat to Joey Oglesby and his crew for a fun diversion. Now we can go back to worrying about the war! I'll post the behind-the-scenes details and the reason for all this drama, as soon as I know it.
